How to find training tournaments
Guide · 4 min
Finding the right training tournaments for your team takes an overview and the right search tools. Here is a guide to finding and choosing the best tournaments for your team – whatever the age group, level and geographic location.
Use Matchbase to search
Matchbase brings every Danish football tournament together in one place. On the platform you can search and filter by age group, format, location and date. Use the filters to narrow the list down to exactly the tournaments that suit your team. You can also see whether spaces are available and compare tournaments side by side.
What should you look for?
When you're looking for the right tournament for your team, there are four things to consider: (1) age group and format – does it suit the team? (2) Level – are the opponents appropriately challenging? (3) Distance – is the tournament logistically manageable for teams and families? (4) Date and price – does it fit into the season and the budget?
Sign up early
Popular tournaments – especially in spring and for the youngest years – fill up quickly. Sign your team up as soon as you've decided. Through Matchbase the sign-up happens directly and you receive a confirmation straight away. Keep an eye on the sign-up deadline – many tournaments close registration 2–3 weeks in advance.
Plan the tournament calendar
The best teams plan the whole season's tournaments in advance. Set up a tournament calendar at the start of the season with the tournaments you'd like to take part in, and sign up early. It gives you peace of mind and ensures you don't miss out on the good tournaments.
Frequently asked questions
When do tournaments normally open for sign-up?
Most tournaments open registration 4–8 weeks before they're held. Popular tournaments fill up fast, so sign up as soon as you see an interesting tournament.
Can I see whether a tournament has space?
Yes, Matchbase clearly shows whether spaces are available, whether the tournament is nearly full, or whether you can join a waiting list.
What do I do if my team ends up on a waiting list?
Join the waiting list. Many teams cancel, and spaces become available. Matchbase automatically notifies you when spaces open up.
